SKU: A0.960890
Composed by Turlough O'carolan. Arranged by Simon Mayor. Baroque,Folk,World. Guitar Tab. 18 pages. Simon Mayor #5741573. Published by Simon Mayor (A0.960890).Simon Mayor presents seven short pieces for solo guitar on themes by Turlough O’Carolan.
Turlough O’Carolan is one of Ireland’s most celebrated baroque composers, responsible for some of the strongest and grandest melodies to come out of his homeland. He was a great friend of his Italian contemporary Corelli, who spent some time in Dublin and had a significant influence on O’Carolan’s music. But traditional music was an influence too, and, stylistically, his compositions occupy a fascinating middle ground between these two genres.
These solos are in standard EADGBE or DADGBE (drop D) tuning. They last up to 3 minutes, and are suitable for the intermediate classical or steel string fingerstyle guitarist. Music is in both standard notation and tablature with detailed fingering.
Contents: Katharine O’More, Carlan’s Frolics, Dolly McDonough, All Alive, Si Bheagh Si Mhor, Carolan’s Concerto, Carolan’s Dream.
